What happened in Hangzhou ten years ago and now?

Many friends from other places said, "Life in Hangzhou is really happy. There are so many scenic parks to visit. The key is that most of them are free, such as fish watching in Huagang, Hangzhou Garden and Quyuan Wind Lotus ... "

In April 2000, some parks in Hangzhou carried out a round of price adjustment. Tickets for Huagang Ornamental Fish Park, Botanical Garden and Prince's Bay were adjusted from 5 yuan to 65,438 yuan, Quyuan Fenghe from 4 yuan to 65,438 yuan, Gushan Park from 3 yuan to 5 yuan, and Liuyang Wenying from 2 yuan to 5 yuan. ...

After 10 years, the admission ticket for the Botanical Garden is still 10 yuan, while Huagang Fish Watching Park, Quyuan Fenghe Park, Hangyuan Park, Taiziwan Park, Gushan Park and Liulang Wenying Park are all free.

From June 5438 to October 2003 10, Hangzhou began to implement "returning the lake to the people and returning the scenery to the people", and many parks began to open for free. And this free West Lake has really attracted more tourists.

Second, the bus fare.

The bus fare in Hangzhou has not increased in the past 65,438+00 years, and has remained at the price of air-conditioned 2 yuan, non-air-conditioned 0 yuan or 0.5 yuan. Since the last two years, seasonal price reduction measures have been implemented. 3, April 10, 1 1, air-conditioned cars are charged according to the standard of non-air-conditioned cars.

According to relevant sources, buses cannot increase their fares, which is related to government subsidies. Without government subsidies, it is impossible to maintain the price of 1~2 yuan according to the increase of oil and materials.

Third, public toilets charge.

In 2000, many public toilets in Hangzhou were free of charge, and the charge price of a few public toilets was 1.65+0 times. Now, in the past 10 years, all public toilets in Hangzhou were free, even the high-end five-star toilets were free.

It is understood that the reason why public toilets do not collect money is also closely related to government subsidies.

Fourth, electronic products.

In the past 10 years, electronic products such as computers and cameras have not increased their prices, or even significantly reduced their prices. For example, in 2005, I bought a digital camera with 5 million pixels, 128M memory and 2600 yuan. At present, a12 megapixel camera with shockproof function only needs a 2G card for 1300 yuan.

The prices of these products have decreased, because there are more and more products of the same type on the market, and because the speed of product upgrading is also very fast. Basically, as soon as the new model is released, the price of the old model will be reduced.

Fifth, mobile phones.

The price of mobile phones has also dropped sharply. In 2000, the price of a clamshell Ericsson mobile phone was 1400 yuan, but this mobile phone only had two functions: making phone calls and sending text messages. Now, the most common mobile phone with camera function is only seven or eight hundred yuan. If you participate in the activity of sending the operator's mobile phone, this mobile phone is basically free.

In 2000, the mobile phone bill was also very expensive, 0.6 yuan -0.8 yuan/minute, and it was a two-way charge, with 0. 1-0./5 yuan in the short message network, and short messages1. At present, the local basic phone bill is 0.4-0.6 yuan/minute, and there are many packages to choose from, such as free answering, virtual network, monthly SMS, long-distance discount and so on. ...

Sixth, the telephone bill.

10 years ago, the telephone still needed an initial installation fee, and it was 1000 -2000 yuan to install a telephone. Now it only costs one or two hundred yuan. The phone bill has also dropped again and again, from the original 0.3 yuan/minute to the current three-minute 0.2 yuan money, and after three minutes, it is 0. 1 yuan/minute.

Netizens said that after the popularity of mobile phones, the telephone era has passed.
